President Bush plans to name Cari Dominguez, a former
high-ranking Labor Department official, to head the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. He also plans to
nominate Brian Roseboro, a risk management expert and
former chief foreign exchange officer for the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, as assistant secretary of the
treasury for financial markets.

Equal “Opportunity”

Dominguez, currently a principal at Dominguez and
Associates, a workforce issues consulting firm, previously
served as director of the Labor Department’s Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs and later as assistant
secretary of labor for employment standards during the
prior Bush administration.

Once confirmed by the Senate, Dominguez will be
designated as chairman of the five-member commission,
replacing Ida Castro, according to the White House.
Dominguez will serve a five-year term expiring July 1,
2006.

Castro and the other two current EEOC commissioners are
Democrats, serving in fixed, staggered five-year terms, the
earliest of which expires in July 2002. Bush still needs to
fill the fifth remaining vacancy and to name a new general
counsel to the commission, according to BNA.

Dominguez, a native of Cuba, received bachelor’s and
master’s degrees from American University and graduated
from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s advanced
public management fellowship program.

Treasury Tap

If the Senate confirms his nomination, Roseboro’s duties
would include oversight of the Treasury Department’s debt
management operations.

Roseboro, 41, is deputy director of market risk
management at American International Group.

He has previously worked at investment bank SBC Warburg
Dillon Read and at the First National Bank of Chicago. From
1983 to 1986 he held several positions at the New York Fed,
including chief dealer for foreign exchange trading,
according to Reuters.
